"Opposition leader Peter Dutton argues Australia needs nuclear power to achieve
net zero emissions by 2050.

But nuclear power is not feasible for Australia. It is too slow, too expensive
and inappropriate for our energy needs.

As a result, plans to build nuclear power plants, big or small, are completely
unrealistic.

What’s more, insisting that nuclear power is the only answer to Australia’s net
zero commitments is a classic move from the playbook of those who oppose urgent
action on climate change."
